Nicky reckons Alannah and Vitali’s waltz to Moon River was ‘mind blowing’

“You just pray you don’t forget it or let your partner down because you don’t want to look like an idiot on live TV.

“You’re aware that you’re dance partner is a professional dancer and isn’t going to mess it up. You’re so relieved to get through your dance without falling over, you don’t care what the judges say.”

But the DWTS panel of Brian Redmond, Darren Bennett, and Loraine Barry could play a crucial role this weekend as the first dancer in DWTS 2018 gets eliminated.

Nicky said: “You can’t predict a public vote. I wouldn’t be able to say who will be in the final either.

“Alannah’s [Beirne] waltz to Moon River on Sunday night was mind blowing to be honest with you but she has Vitali Kozminby as a dance partner and coach who is a perfectionist and Alannah is embracing that.”
The dad-of-three also praises Erin McGregor, sister of UFC star Conor, for overcoming her nerves to achieve the highest score of 23 from the judges last night, along with dance partner Ryan McShane.

Nicky explained: “Erin has been so nervous and come in for some stick with people saying she is only here because she is Conor’s sister. That’s not true either.
